On safety  
On the speaker system  
is speaker system is not magnetically  
shielded, and the picture on nearby TV  
sets may become magnetically distorted.  
In this situation, turn off the TV, wait  
15 to 30 minutes, and turn it back on.  
If there is no improvement, move the  
speakers far away from the TV.  
Completely disconnect the power  
cord (mains lead) from the wall socket  
(mains) if it is not going to be used  
for an extended period of time. When  
unplugging the unit, always grip the  
plug. Never pull the cord itself.  
Should any solid object or liquid get  
into the system, unplug the system, and  
have it checked by qualified personnel  
before operating it again.  
Cleaning the cabinet  
Clean this system with a soſt cloth  
slightly moistened with a mild detergent  
solution. Do not use any type of abrasive  
pad, scouring powder, or solvent, such as  
thinner, benzine, or alcohol.  
e AC power cord can be changed  
only by a qualified service facility.  
On placement  
Do not place the system in an inclined  
position or in locations that are  
extremely hot, cold, dusty, dirty, or  
humid or lacking adequate ventilation,  
or subject to vibration, direct sunlight  
or a bright light.  
Be careful when placing the unit  
or speakers on surfaces that have  
been specially treated (for example,  
with wax, oil, polish) as staining or  
discoloration of the surface may result.  
If the system is brought directly  
from a cold to a warm location or is  
placed in a very damp room, moisture  
may condense on the lens inside the  
CD player, and cause the system to  
malfunction. In this situation, remove  
the disc, and leave the system turned  
on for about an hour until the moisture  
evaporates.  
On heat buildup  
Heat buildup on the unit during  
operation is normal and is not cause  
for alarm.  
Do not touch the cabinet if it has been  
used continuously at a high volume  
because the cabinet may have become  
hot.  
Do not obstruct the ventilation holes.
